Updates: Bad Book News

It was the best of times, it was the worst of times...I finally read a Strange Chemistry book I really enjoyed! And found out the same week that Angry Robot was shutting it down. :( On the bright side, I saw a Golden Retriever/Husky puppy at the park and it was so cute! On to the status reports: I did less reading, but I started one of my review books (The Lazarus Machine) and it's pretty cool thus far. Automatons, Moriarty and impromptu skydiving. ;)

There would have been more in this section, but it seems that Better World Books doubled all their prices recently. Now you need a 45% off sale to pay previously regular prices. And their inventory isn't all it used to be. Update: I just checked and their prices seem to be back to normal. Maybe it was a display glitch, possibly because they're now offering full price(?) new books? Either way, the good prices are back!

Thank you! I'm curious; how many Strange Chemistry titles have you read? I think I'm up to 4 now (and the 4th one was the only one I fully liked).

I know you enjoyed Bronze Gods! That may have pushed me into buying it. >.> I'm still trying to find more "Adult" (read: non-YA) books/series I enjoy, and Thief's Covenant sounded pretty cool. We'll have to compare notes when we finish. :)

Oo, so I saw your post when Better World Books was being sad, but this update is exciting since I didn't realize they had such great deals *plots* also yey, I hope you enjoy all the Strange Chem books!

Oh yeah, they're my go-to for used books. Thank goodness they extended that 45% off sale when they found the glitch...although it may have resulted in my buying *cough* nine books. But it was only $23-24. That makes it okay, right? As long as I wait and only buy during the 40-45% sales?
